ABSTRACT
Intraabdomınal lymphangioma is a rare disease. Pancreatic counterpart occurs as cystic mass and should be kept in mind in patients with cystic pancreatic lesions. It is important to diagnose preoperatively to choose therapy modality. In this paper, we present a rare case of pancreatic lymphangioma which was diagnosed incidentally
